I'd say go to Shenzen just over the border with China, when went I found that a much better place for copied stuff- loads of DVDs, Games and software as well as some really good fake Rolexs (I got one that doesnt need a battery and on which the hand sweeps like a real rolex for really cheap) and other stuff- its also quite a bit cheaper than already cheap Hong Kong.

But if you only have one day free then Hong Kong is prob more interesting to look around. Seem to remember the night market on temple street (I think) was pretty good. I bought loads of DVDs which all worked, and a few GBA games - Tactics Ogre, Super Ghouls and Ghosts (in Japanese), Mario Advance 2 (is that what its called? The remake of the snes one, in Japanese) and Sonic Advance which sadly didnt work

No ideas about fake id's though! perhaps ask around a market or something

Hong Kong is the BEST city I have ever been to, even better than NYC or London. Stanley market is great for clothes but if your after electronics try Kowloon. A visit to the Peak is a must, by tram of course. Oh and you have to go on the Star ferry, great views of the city from the sea. As for fake IDs, no idea.

Hong Kong is the single greatest city on the face of the planet, with NYC a very close second. You cannot find as impressive a skyline as the one with Hong Kong.

Nor can you find any location on the face of the planet more capitalist than Hong Kong. They have the most economic freedom compared with any other place in the entire world. It's too goddamned bad China is fucking up the place.

Why is it that Hong Kong is the most advanced location in the world and also the most capitalist? Why is it that North Korea is one of the least advanced locations in the world and is the least capitalist?

And why can't the EU countries fucking realize that if you want to have some goddamned economic growth, then you've got to throw out those damned economic restraints and those damned social programs.

If I were in charge of the economic policies of the EU, i'd give tax cuts to everyone, eliminate all social programs except those for children, and allow people to create their own business in just a single day. I'd allow near-complete economic freedom to every single individual in the goddamned EU, and do you know what would happen?

The EU would grow just as faster and probably faster than the US, the technological inventions would come more from the EU, skyscrapers would be built, living standards would be raised, there would finally be a comepetitor to the U.S., and the world would be far better off than it is today.

But no, dumbass economic policy in the EU means the EU will continue to be the United States little bitch. The EU won't grow nearly as fast as the US. Americans will laugh at the EU as we grow more ties with Asia.

Iphone 8 space Plus Electronics Apple Amazon 256gb Grey in What a bunch of socialist morons. The EU's screwed themselves. Places like Germany are doomed. Fucking elderly pensions, whose the fucking genius who thought of that one? "Make our young people pay for our old people" pshh, stupid. Germany is plunging into chaos for it's horrible social programs. They're destorying that country, you just wait and see.

I was there for a couple of days in '99, was thinking it would have changed somewhat after the handover. Fortunately it seemed to be just as I thought it would be after hearing many, many stories about the place from when my family lived there during the sixties when my Dad was in the RN. Great place, would love to go back and if I'm ever lucky enough to get the chance to work out in HK there would be no stopping me!

As someone who is borned in Hong Kong, it brings tears to my eyes hearing everybody praising my place of birth so much!

Regarding the fack id, I think the bloke is lying to you that it's done in Hong Kong. Sure someone would do it for you if you ask around a lot, but it would be just as easy to do it in the UK. Basically, it's my experience that you have to...well...network a bit before knowing someone who can make it for you. A random tourist would need to waste too much time for it to be productive.

All I can really think of if you are desperate is that when you are buying your dodgy softwares, ask the guy selling you the stuff...if you pay him a bit extra, he may be happy to show you.256gb Amazon space Iphone Apple Plus Electronics Grey 8 in Anyway, enjoy your trip, and I hope you will survive the hot boiling pan that's HK (air con helps a lot...god I miss that single greatest invention of all time)

Anyone here lived and worked in Hong Kong? Got a potential role out there. Looks like my dream job and i loved the place when i visited but would like some feedback from people who have spent decent time there.

One thing Google tells me is that working hour's are insane. Especially as a manager so that is one area already of concern.

Working hours will depend on the company. Anything in finance then, yeah, sure, you're not going to see much sky.

Grey Amazon Apple Iphone 8 Electronics in Plus 256gb space I've never lived there personally, but have a few friends who have been out there for seven or eight years and absolutely love it (all in finance except one who's an English teacher).

Visited loads when I lived in Shanghai (2.5hr flight FTMFW) and it's one of my favourite places on Earth. Parts of the ex-pat community are a bit grubby, but easy enough to spot and avoid if that's not your bag and easy enough to find if it is.

Go. In a heartbeat. Go. Working in Asia for a few years was one of the most mind-expanding things I've ever done. Really makes you appreciate things 'back home' too, and what/who you don't miss might be as telling as what/who you do. Go. In a heartbeat. Go.
